Beautiful Things.

Nature makes beautiful things.
Remarkable, spectacular amazing things.
We set off early for a trip up to Jenolan caves, two hours from home.
The drive there is scenic….rolling hills, lush green country side and miles of pine forest plantations.
We stopped for morning tea (but I forgot the tea cups, lol!) and I filmed for a while in one of the forests.
Fairy tale white spotted red toadstools were pushing up from the ground everywhere among the fallen pine needles. Just magic!
There were leeches too but when I want to capture the beauty I see, not even those bloody little nasties can stop me.
Pity we didn't have more time. I could have spent hours wandering among the tree’s finding all the pretty little secrets a forest like that has to offer.
We went on to do a cave tour - “Temple of Baalâ€.
Fascinating and good to see it with lights this time (we went through it in the dark on the ghost tour we did of that cave recently.)
It’s just amazing what goes on underground, in the dark totally without human intervention.
Stunning formations!
I kept thinking “Aladdin’s cave†- was THIS what they meant instead of a cave full of actual jewels?
Walls full of tiny diamonds sparkling in the light.
Sheaths of pure white silk draped from the roof…. Glistening icicles….Man, what a sight!
On the way home the sky turned black and then with much cracking thunder and lightning opened up above us and we got caught in a terrific hailstorm.
From inside the car it was absolutely deafening. Everyone on the road pulled over and just waited it out.
It was a bit scary, but at the same time I loved it! (love, love, LOVE storms!)
This is short because I’m tired.
Tired from all that climbing about in the caves, but revived because I got out amongst nature and once again found my “churchâ€â€¦.my “God†- there.
There is a song I found online. Yes it’s a Christian song and I don’t follow any particular religion but I absolutely LOVE this song (and can't see how anyone possibly couldn't!) so I’ll use it to sum up this day.
